Progressing well

Mandy is doing well today. It has been a challenging day for her but the good news is that she is now off the body warming device., and has been allowed some food and drink within the last hour. Mandy has finally gone to sleep without waking every 30 seconds so she should hopefully be feeling a bit better soon.
 She is being her usual self always making very personal thank you'd to all the staff treating her. High Dependency Unit in LGI is well staffed and it has been easy to ensure that she has exactly what she needs all the time. She even has a window bed overlooking the Clarendon Ward pay and display public car park. You can see the tops of all the fresh leaved trees which is rather nice. Not too sure when she will leave High Dependency Ward.
 I (nick)sit watching the multitude of waves on the monitor screen and listening to the rhythmical beat - occasionally thinking is that normal? But then the nurses tell me yes that's fine or it's because the monitor device has slipped a little.
 The hospital food actually looks pretty good and there is choice on the menu,.  The  valiant effort Mandy made to stay awake long enough to  put the spoon to her mouth herself is the stuff YouTube is famous for ! 
So all in all it has been another challenging day but a really good one, Mandy is getting through it.
